Great session on how to look after yourself when you are involved in Activism, it is all to easy to be swept along by issues, feel depressed when everything can seem so hopeless. Mike offers some practical advice on how to look after yourselves and others when undertaking activism. Burnout is sometimes presumed to be the price of being an activist. But it doesn’t have to be that way. This film will look at recognising the signs of burnout and share some practical prevention tips.

In order to move towards a better world it can seem such a daunting task beset with problems and challenges, but it is very important to look after yourself and to get some joy from life and not become subsumed by the issue you are fighting for.
